Well, the car was getting in a right state on the roads at the moment, badly needed a proper clean and a good couple of coats of wax! Decided to take it into work so I could use the warehouse and do a proper job. This is what I was dealing with after just one week of driving:

Firstly, gave it a rinse and a soak in snow foam, then blasted most of the crap off with the pressure washer. Then washed it with Chemical Guys extreme wash and wax and another rinse and took it inside for claying. The paint was a right state, this is the clay after just the passenger door!

Another wash with the chemical guys and a rinse later, it was back inside for drying. Gave it a polish with some Auto Glym paint renovator just to get rid of a few stains on the paint that claying doesn't remove. Was looking tip top at this point so gave it a good coat of Collinite 845 insulator wax, and finally a layer of Collinite 476s wax and then some glass polish. It is properly amazing now, never been so clean and the paints really smooth, should stop all the crap sticking to it and make it easier to clean! Anyway, it was about half 9 by the time I finished so grabbed a couple of quick shots and went home, enjoy!

Looks like you have done a nice job of that!

Good work!

How many miles per week do you cover!? your car was stinking before!

Wish i had a car that would look that spotless after a clean.... ha, maybe someday!
 
Not that many, its about 15 miles to work but its all backroads, past loads of farms and stuff so it get dirty well quick.
 
I know how you feel mate, My car is filthy after a week sitting on a construction site! Any chance you could give me abit more info on the snow foam, I presume you use a lance?

cheers

ps; car looks stunning
 
Wow thats clean dude , supaclean like :nice:

Cracking cleaning session
 
Very clean now:shocked: Its shocking how much crap can stick to the paint that washing does not remove!

Keeping the car polished and waxed helps to keep the paint smooth and tar free
 
Amazing :drool:.
My 9 needs this sort of treatment sooo badly, but I'm still confused as to which products/combos work the best:S

Did you polish by hand or use a DA polisher?
 
i like all the dirt pics...nice ctr you have there budy! :)
 
Really nice outcome, i'd love to have that much commitment into cleaning it that much haha.
